Old and defunct Holy Graily Bob

Post by **SteveHopwood** » Thu Dec 11, 2014 7:02 pm

V 1w is in post 1, along with a basket manager specifically for HGB.

From the updated user guide:

Holy Graily Bob's Basket Manager
You set this up on a separate chart on one of the exotics that you are not going to trade – mine is on XAUUSD. The manager will monitor the overall position and close all the trades once your profitable target is reached. There are two ways of setting these, and you can use them both simultaneously:
PercentOfBalanceTarget: the default of 1 here will have the manager closing the trades at 1% of the account balance. Imagine the balance is 1000; the manager will close all the trades and delete all pendings when the cash profit on all your trades hits $10. A zero input turns this off.

CashProfitTarget: the manager will close all the trades and delete all pendings when the cash profit on all your trades hits this figure. A zero input turns this off.
HGBBM works with HGB by setting a flag when it is closing the position. HGB looks for the flag before going trade hunting, and aborts trading when it finds the flag. This is to avoid the situation where HGBBM is manically trying to close all the trades, and HGB is equally manically trying to open them again. This will happen if you use MPTM's global closure or MBPM.

Hi all !

Did you see like me the move with JPY that passed green to red pips ?
I let just HGB close when opposite signal and the wave's apparition close all in negative.
All 1000 pips closed was transformed to -100, maybe I should have close before

Has anyone come up with a good setfile to use with HGB? If so can you post it along with the results that you have gotten so far. Thanks

Steve, I think you have a small bug that is causing the 130 error. Its in the previous versions but for reference in you latest version 1w line 1430

stop = price - (WaveMultiStopLoss / factor);

Since this is for OP_SELL open orders, I think Line 1430 should be:

stop = price + (WaveMultiStopLoss / factor);

Thanks Dave. Dead right. I was going to hunt this down tomorrow but this saves me the job. Much appreciated.

V 1x folks, or make the change yourselves.

Hi Steve

I think that the HGBBM is an excellent addition. Would it be worth considering a Global Jumping SL for HGBBM.

So if the the global profit hits say $30 it will close all positions if profit then retracts back to $20 etc etc.

I am just thinking that the way HGB rapidly accumulates profit when the markets are 'behaving' you want to collect as many pips as possible.

Cheers Richard

Steve, many thanks for this version!

Gertje, I have a small logistical challenge with the v1X version. After carefully reading through the relevant liner notes in the User Guide to make sure I was on safe ground - when I loaded it onto any blank XXXYYY screen it proceeds to add that particular currency pair to the mix and starts trading it as part of the basket.

Please help me. What have I missed in my excitement???

Thanks!

Hi AussieDoc

You have loaded HGB EA onto the blank screen and therefore the HGB EA will trade that pair as it should (hence the trade that was place in your screen shot).

What you need to do is have the HGB EA running on all the pairs you want to trade and then set just one instance of 'HGB Basket Manager' on other pair that you are not trading such as XUAUSD with a blank screen. The HGBBM will keep an eye on the total profit and close all the trades if it reaches the profit set in the Basket Manager

Cheers Richard
